Bariatric support group meeting.
I participate in a weekly support group via conference call. I find it really helpful. It's a small group and the same people usually participate, so we all know each other pretty well, which I think makes it more helpful than a large group with new people always showing up. I mean, we have a new person now and then, but getting to know each other well helps. We really focus on providing emotional support, too. We don't have reps from vitamin companies attending, trying to sell us their products, or things like that.
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
We don't have a name. We meet on Tuesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 pm EST by conference call. If you're interested, PM me and I can give you more information. I think it's a really great group!

I don't go anymore. I've moved since surgery and most meetings (in person) focus on newbie information not long-term post-ops. I did find it helpful early out just to be able to talk to others going through the same process.
